What Is HiTech Steel and What Services Does It Provide?

Updated

HiTech Steel Treating, Inc. is a Michigan-based commercial and specialty steel treating company founded in 1983. It provides industrial metal heat treating and stress relieving services for commercial and specialty parts, with an emphasis on quality, innovation, and service. The company is ISO 9001 certified (2015 registration) and CQI-9 compliant, and it markets low-volume, fast-turnaround work alongside its production capabilities. If you have metal parts that need their mechanical properties changed—or need residual stress relieved—this is the type of shop that performs that work.

What the company does

Heat treating is an industrial metalworking process used to alter the physical, and sometimes chemical, properties of a material. HiTech Steel Treating applies that process to customer parts, and it also performs steel stress relieving—a specialized heat-treating process in which the mechanical properties of a particular material are changed. The company describes itself as servicing both commercial and specialty steel treating needs.

Its stated priorities are quality, timely service, and competitive pricing, backed by its quality assurance system and ISO 9001:2015 registration. A recurring theme in its customer comments is turnaround speed and responsiveness:

  • One customer cites the willingness to work with them when quick turnaround is required.
  • Another notes on-time delivery and parts done to specification.
  • A third points to consistent quality, delivery, variety of services, and reasonable pricing.
  • A robotic welded parts customer mentions rapid responses to requests for quotes and parts processed and completed in less than a week.
  • Another customer cites local proximity as the initial reason for choosing HiTech, but returns for overall service.

When this company fits your need

HiTech Steel is a reasonable fit if you need one or more of the following:

  • Heat treating or stress relieving on commercial or specialty metal parts
  • A Michigan-based shop, or one where local proximity shortens logistics
  • Low-volume runs with fast turnaround, including parts completed in under a week
  • A supplier working under a certified quality system (ISO 9001:2015, CQI-9 compliant)
  • A range of processes—from carburizing and carbonitriding to vacuum hardening, deep freezing, and straightening—handled by one vendor

If your requirement falls outside metal heat treating and stress relieving, or you need a process not listed above, confirm capability directly before quoting. The site does not publish pricing, so cost and lead-time specifics need to come from a request for quote.
